+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_TRY_AWK_ANYOUT(NAME,TEST-INPUT,TEST-BODY,[ACTION-IF-SUCCESS],[ACTION-IF-FAILURE])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Run a test using the awk program found on AWK variable. The test
+#   being run has TEST-BODY as body and is feeded with TEST-INPUT. If
+#   successful execute ACTION-IF-SUCCESS otherwise ACTION-IF-FAILURE
+#
+#   This work is heavily based upon testawk.sh script by Heiner Steven.
+#   You should find his script (and related works) at
+#   <http://www.shelldorado.com/articles/awkcompat.html>. Thanks to
+#   Alessandro Massignan for his suggestions and extensive nawk tests
+#   on FreeBSD.
